SALEM.

With the roads full OF ice and snow,
news seems to be very scarce article.
The ice company at Camp Lake are
still putting up ice, and report says
they have yet another weeks work.
Mr.. January Thaw made US a short
visit last week. Rain fell all day Sat-
urday. Saturday night and part of Sun
day forenoon:

appeared in last weeks paper, but the
train and weather is to blame, and not

Friday evening, January Il, the
Willing Workers took it into their
heads to surprise Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hartnell, of Brighton. The surprise
was complete as far as Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Hartnell were concerned, but the ice
cream and other refreshments furnish
ed by Mrs. Frank Hartnell goes far to
show that she was not surprised. The
Willing Workers fully appreciate her
kindness.
Saturday, Jan. 10, death entered the

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.

This Association proposes to give
five entertainments, three of which
will be musical and literary, and two
lectures. The first will be on Tues
day evening next, Feb. LIST, in the
Business Mems Club Hall. This will
be concert by Chicago company.
under the direction of Prof. Rowalska,
a gentleman of widely known musical
talent. The second entertainment will
be musical and literary by Kenosha
talent.
These entertainments are commend
ed to the patronage of the people of
Kenosha and vicinity; they are in.
tended to aid a noble enterprise, the
procuring of library and furnishing
the reading room of the Y. M. G. AS
ISOLATION with periodicals and some OF
the leading newspapers of the large
cities. The desirability Of such an ad-
vantage for our citizens, especially for
the young men. must be apparent to
everyone. Something of this kind has
long been a felt necessity in t is place.
and while other cities, some of them
not large, are making advances for this
object, the earnest appeal is made to
the citizens of Kenosha not to fall be-
hind in the substantial encouragement
needed.
In respect TO the entertainment adj
vertised for next Tuesday evening, we
have in our possession a considerable
number of testimonials of we'll known
public journals. In several Of these
notices each member of the concert
company who will sing on Tuesday
night is individually described. We
take but one from the Chicago Times,
not because it is loudest in praises,
but for the reason that paper is well
known in this vicinity:
Zone of the most attractive features
of the recent Rowalska recital was
the singing of the Cujus Anaman,
from Rossini's Stabat Mater, by Mr..
Thomas Meldrum. the young tenor.
Mr.. Meldrum has the purest tenor
voice it has been our good fortune to
listen to. In the above named selec-
ton he sang the difficult cadenza at the
finish. going to high ID" fat, which
he sustained with great clearness and
purity. He should be heard to be APP
preciated."
The vocalists who will appear here
have each a large reputation in the
line of their profession. and no one
win experience greater disappointment
than ourselves if full satisfaction is
not given to those who patronize the
concert.

A business is being carried on in the
northern part of this state, also in
northern Michigan, which is too dis
graceful for full description. 1t is no
less than a system of decoying unsus-
pecting young girls, under promise of
large wages and kind treatment, and
when the victims are secured, they are
virtually deprived of their liberty, and
imprisoned in disreputable places.
This nefarious business has been 60
ing on for months, and the attention
of Gov. Rusk has been called to the
evil, but he cannot well put an end to
this disgraceful business without the
aid of the local authorities.

The interstate commerce bill, which
passed both Houses of Congress by an
overwhelming majority, has created a
wider interest among railroad and busi-
ness men than any Congressional en-
actment for a long time past. There
has long been demand by large por-
tion of the people for some law of this
kind, but whether the law passed is
the best that can be enacted requires
full acquaintance with all Of its pro-
visions. So far as the press reflects
public sentiment, the people are in
favor Of the law.

JURY REFORM.

The long talked-of jury reform,
which is generally admitted as needed,
seems to be taking shape and will be
brought before the legislature now in
session at Madison. The present
method OF selecting jurors is quite de-
fective; the qualification of jurors
needs to be more specifically defined.
1t is almost mockery Of justice to
summon men for jurors who have no
proper conceptions Of the rules of
weighing evidence. or of the general
principles of law. AS one measure of
reform, it is proposed that three COM
missioners be appointed by the Judge
OF the Circuit Court, whose duty it
shall be to select proper persons for
jurors. This would probably be an
improvement on the present method.
1t is also proposed to so change'tbe
law in civil cases that two thirds or
three-fourths of the members of the
jury shall be sufficient to render ver-
dict. Something of this kind is needed
to avoid the vexatious delays and ex-
pense to which parties to suit are
often subjected, resulting from the OBJ
stinacy of one juror. These proposed
changes are worthy Of careful consider
alton from our legislators. 1t is stated
that some of the aforementioned alter
ations Of the law have been adopted in
other states.

The progress of the Farmers Insti-
tute will be kept before the people I'M
til they are suspended for the year.
These meetings have proven such a
success in the counties where they
have been held that the proposal to
ask the legislature for an increase of
appropriation for the more complete
equipment of the educational force
meets with general approval. There
are many farmers who for years have
been in that occupation, and who were
content to believe they knew all that
is necessary in that line of business,
but who, after attending the Institutes,
confessed having received new light.

Is. For three veers the firm Of Fisher

les. For three yeers the firm of Fisher,
Lentz & Co. carried on their business in
the store where Lentz q Funck are
still located. In 1882 dissolution of
partnership took place, and Mr.. Fisher
assumed the dry goods business at the
stand in Kimball Block now popularity
known as !" Fishers" At first his store,
being then 25160 feet, was too large, but
pluck and perseverance has overcome
that difficulty. His business increased,
and his store became so crowded that
more room was needed. In 1888 an ex-
tension of % feet was added at the rear,
with full plate glass openings. This
answered for while, but the business
kept cyowding, and in 1885 the old mar
row shelvings were removed and re-
placed by deep ones extending the en-
tire length of the building. And yet, at
the present time, the building now 25x
105 feet, is too full for convenience. At
first the small store was too large and
now the large store is too small. As at
present arranged, Mr.. Fishers store is
one of the best lighted stores in the city
being full glass, front and rear, the mid
die of Inc store is rendered as light as
day." Mr.. Fisher has in his store the
only cloth measuring machine in the
city, by means of which a full bolt Of
cloth can be accurately measured in 9
very few minutes. Mr.. Fisher does ar
exclusively dry goods business with nc
side issues, and but one iron in the fire
Mr.. Fisher commenced at the bottom O
the commercial ladder, and by his in
domitable push and perseverance he ha:
risen round by round till he has reached
his present high position, as self-made
successful business man.

Hon. Moses NJ. Strong, who was a
prominent member of the Territorial
legislature for several years before the
organization of state government, and
who has been conspicuous at various
times since, comes once more before
the legislature this winter, asking that
5000 copies Of his Territorial history
OF Wisconsin be purchased. Mr..
Strong has had this matter brought
before the legislature a number of
times in former years. We expressed
the opinion years ago that there pro
baby were no essential facts in Mr..
Strong's history which cannot in some
form be found recorded in the collec-
tionS of the State Historical Society at
Madison. This may be a mistake,
therefore let Mr.. Strong tell the story
from his standpoint. Such of the city
ems of this place as were here in 1S4S,
forty-six years ago, remember Moses M.
Strong standing on the balcony of Dea.
con Whitney's half frame and half log
hotel making a rousing political speech
to a crowd which had gathered to
hear him at that early day. Mr.. Strong

Senator Sawyer's denomination and
reelection to the United States Senate,
unlike nearly all the other Senators
from other states recently chosen, was
a march Of triumph nearly all the
way. There was not from the begin
ming to the close very serious opposi-
ton to him. The Democrats, as
matter Of form, put candidate in the
held to take the empty honor of defeat !;
that candidate was John Winans, of
james vile, the same Mr.. Winans who
in consequence of a split and detection
in the Republican ranks in this district,
was elected to Congress over c. G. Will
liams in 1883. Mr.. Sawyer's reelection
cost him no personal effort or money.
Perhaps not another newly-elected
Senator can say that much.

year. The necessity for instruction in
this direction is growing more obvious,
and, unless met, will soon place our
mechanical trades in the hands of for
eigners, or at least foreign-born people.
Some OF our we'll known American
educators. who have travelled extern
sively in Europe, for the purpose of ex
aiming the different methods of in
struction adopted in the schools, be-
lieve our schools in this country are
neglecting important branches Of edu-
cation. The important feature of
technical instruction in the schools has
taken strong hold ON the educational
systems in various European counties.
The necessity of educating the hand
as well as the head is beginning TO be
everywhere recognized. 1t is found
that 80 per cent of the young men who
grow up to manhood in most countries
in Europe are trained TO follow some
industrial pursuit for a living. In
nearly every province in Germany are
what is known as preparatory schools,
preliminary to some specific trade. It
is estimated that in Prussia alone there
are 600 industrial schools OF all sorts;
most of them are for artisans of all
kinds. Thousands of young men and
boys are learning mechanical trades
which will afford them livelihood in
after years. On investigations made
in this country it is shown that foreign
skilled labor is crowdine ont Arae.;-
carbon labOrerS. Commissioner Peck,
of New York, in his labor statistics,
says that our supply of mechanics is
constantly being increased by skilled
labor from Europe. and that visit to
the large workshops in any state will
demonstrate that large majority of
our mechanics are foreigners. Com
missioner Peck further says, Gin many
trades and industrial establishments
there is not a single Am erican at work
Nearly all positions of trust and re-
sponsibility in the mechanical depart
ments are in the hands of foreign-boru,
and most of the boys and yonng men
learning trades are either foreign-born
or the sons of foreign-born workers."
The question of manual training in
schools, although it has been much dis
cussed, multitudes still regard it vision
airy and impracticable. 1t may require
considerable time yet before the PEG
pie in this country accept it as readily
as in France and Germany. 1ntellectu-
al training is well and necessary, but
it is questionable whether the schools
do not teach book knowledge too ex-
clusively. An hour or half an hours
use of tools each day would improve
the physical condition of the pupils,
sharpen their minds, and teach them
respect for skilled manual labor.

JOINT COUNTY FAIR.

Mr.. r. F. Roberts, of Bristol, has an
article in the Racine Journal, giving
some strong and well-considered rea
sons for a union of effort of Kenosha
and Racine counties to provide for the
holding Of annual agricultural fairs.
Mr.. Roberts has for years been an in
terested citizen in county farmers as
sociations of different kinds, and it is
pleasing to note that his zeal in behalf
of the farming interests of the county
is still undated.

which will occur on the 4th of March
next, by the expired term of Senator

He was classed as Republican, but
his politics just enough uncertain to
render him unreliable on any question.
